GERMAN IN THE PULPIT.
The Discussion of the Catholic Chur
Matter Still in Progress.

The Discussion OF the Catholic Church
Matter Still in Progress.
CHICAGO, Aug. 26.-The Ne,os' special
from Louisville, KY, says: "The Illinois
Stats Zetttng, in urging attendance upon
the German Catholic Convention at Chi
cago recently, attacked the Catholic AdUo-
cate, of this city, for likening the German
language TO grunts of swine, and for an al
legged attempt to drive out the German
tongues. Editor Henderson said of
this to-day: THE Rev Dr. McGlynn
in an article published in the North Ameri-
can ReUiei0 for August bitterly inveighed
against the Catholic church, charging IL
with Germanizing vast territories in Ameri-
ca, and isolating the people in speech and
customs from their fellow citizens. The
Adrocute denied that the church had taken
any such stand, but on the contrary, said
the sacred college at Rome had rejected PEE
titons Of certain Germans, cleric and lay,
who sought to have recognition of their
speech and customs specially provided for
by the church.
THE MOST PERFECT SPEECH.
"Tbe Adrocdte said that English is the
most perfect speech God has given man,
and should be the national speech of
America. 1t is said the Eng
lish speaking people, for 200 years
past, WISHED bue UerfIlan greater VIII ana
fewer consonants Other European nations
asserted that the utterance Of Germany
resembled the sound of pigs speaking civil
lied tongues with bad accent. The advo-
Gates of this form of speech want now to
establish its discordant grunts in Amer
lea and desired by side wind 20 gain the
assistance of the Catholic Church to stamp
out English. This language the German
immigrants desire to perpetuate in America,
and Catholic and Protestants equally desire
to maintain it i'm our midst, and oust the
language of the foreign nation. The Cath
lie church has given set back to this mon
strous assumption. 1t will provide German
pastors where it can for focks that exclu-
sively speak that language, and it
will provide pastors who are
familiar with the German tongue
for parishes where the Pensioners knowl-
edge of the English is of limited extent.
The church will do no more. II will not
assign special parochial bounds and specific
territory for German speaking people in
America "

CoLoRoW NOT CoRNERED.
The Indians Intrenched in a Strong
Position in the Hills.

EOSlulCn III UnS Hills.
DENVER, Aug. 26.-Telegrams received
here this afternoon from Meeker deny the
reports of yesterday that Colorow is sur
rounded by militia and desires peace. The
Indians are intrenched in the hills, and so
protected by natural Notifications that their
dislodgment by all the State militia com
bined will be impossible. Colorow yester-
day said that he did not want "a little
fight, but he did want "big fight" and
they would have it if the troops were not
called back-"lnjuns no fraid"
Capt. Lawson, who was returning to
Meeker, Wednesday afternoon from camp
Adams with telegrams, was headed off and
chased twenty miles and held by the In
dams until darkness permitted his escape
They struck him about dusk at a bridge
which crossed a creek and fired at him
separately while chasing him.
Capt. Lawson returned the fire
twice. He reached Meeker early yesterday
morning, completely fatigued. If fight is
avoided until the arrival of Gov. Adams,
the trouble may be amicably settled, but if
the militia and Indians clash before his ar
rival war will probably ensue.
CONFERENCE TO BE HELD.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 26.-Csov. Adams, of
Colorado, to-day telegraphed Assistant Sec
retary of the Interior Muldrow, who is
Acting Secretary, that Colorow had ex-
pressed desire for a conference. Gov.
Adams suggested that representatives of
the Interior and War Departments
be sent TO this conference. In
dian Agent Bynes, of the Uintah
Agency was directed to go at once to Gar
field county, the location named by Colo
row. President Cleveland requested the
Secretary of War TO send Gen. Crook also,
and 10y the combined effort of State and
Federal officials, secure peaceable return
of the Indians to their reservation

war between whites and blacks, which,
from present appearances, viii not stop un-
til the Governor sends State militia there.

to investigate When within about half
mile of Chapman's house they were halted
by about twenty armed negroes who opened
fusilade Ten whites were probably fa-
tally shot and one badly wounded. Four of
the blacks were shot down. Yesterday af-
ternoon large band Of whites collected and
arrested about dozen negroes, who wpre
lodged in jail Last night over 100 armed
negroes arrived at Clear Lake, the place
where the prisoners are confined, and moro
were constantly coming. They were very
boisterous and said they would rescue their
friends last night, come what may.
READY TO OPPOSE THEM.
Probably fifty white men were determined
to resist the mob. They had the advantage
of good position, being in a house. More
over, the prisoners were all chained 10 posts
i'll the prison yard, and were told that If any
attempt was made TO rescue them they
would be shot at once.
A report was current that the convict
farm eight miles southeast of Clear Lake,
had been attacked by band of thirty armed
blacks, who murdered Mr.. Williams, the
lessee, and released the prisoners.

NEW YORK, Aug. 2e.-The hearing be-
fore Referee Davis in the Ives case was
continued to-day. The witnesses examined
were the bookkeeper, cashier, assistant
cashier, jonitor, telegraph operator, stenog-
ranher, bond clerk and Office boy. Several
OF these had seen the missing books within
ten days previous 10 the assignment, but
all were profoundly ignorant as TO
what had become of them. An
evening paper publishes a statement that
last night Ives, Stoyner, ibis partner, and
Assignee Cromwell visited Christopher
Meyer, and presented a statement of the af-
fairs of the firm, which represented that if
$1,000 900 of loans were taken up, and the
collateral taken TO secure them released, It
would pull the firm through and make good
every dollar, and asked Mr.. Meyer 10 adj
vance that amount. Mr.. Meyer declined,
saying the firm owed him enough aleady.
